Weston orders two radar speed signs; VTrans to relocate pedestrian sign

The Selectboard reported it purchased two radar speed signs for $5,912, under an approved $7,000 budget cap, as part of efforts to improve traffic safety on the town's approaches. The board said Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) agreed to relocate a pedestrian sign roughly 200 feet prior to the 30-mph zone at Weston’s south entrance to accommodate sign placement.

Board discussion recorded that the signs will be deployed at locations intended to reduce speeds entering town; no installation timetable or funding source beyond the budget cap was specified in the minutes. The motion to proceed with the purchase was recorded as within the board-approved budget.
